In the ongoing Ghana 2008 tournament, the Black Stars have so far not lost a match in their group. Today they meet the Moroccans in the final match of the group.
The Stars have suffered a goal drought, garnering only three goals so far. Their match today will therefore be crucial, not because they have lost any match but precisely because goals have eluded them.
But is that a reason for people to flay them as we are hearing? The bad mouthing is getting to the players and that may be the deciding factor as to whether they can be motivated to hold the Moroccans be beaten today.We think it is the height of bad sportsmanship, the way we often crucify our sporting teams and personalities simply because they are not winning.
Of course we play competitive sports to win, but by God, that's not the end of the world - there are many other opportunities out there waiting for us to show the same kind of passion, which would lead to economic development and prosperity, but which these same Ghanaians hardly take notice of! Come on, let us be more patriotic and cheer on our national team today to victory.
That's what the country demands of ALL of us, not just the playing prowess of the national team!
